Cancer [June 22 – July 22] – Tension may arise today,
Cancer. It’s possible that you’re either too dreamy or too practical to deal
effectively with the issue. It’s important to strike a balance. The toughest
part will be finding others who agree with you. The people you’re in conflict
with aren’t likely to budge from their position. You may have to be flexible in
order to reach a compromise.

Leo [July 23 – Aug. 23] – Yesterday’s trajectory may run
into trouble today, Leo. Your intrinsically dreamy nature is dragging down the
action you initiated. This conflict could create tension that will be difficult
to resolve. Your emotions may deceive you, so try not to get pulled off course
by a passing whim. Try to keep your feelings grounded.

Virgo [Aug. 24 – Sept. 22] – Try to align your mind with
your emotions today, Virgo. It’s possible that a powerful yet subtle force is
slowly pulling you off track. If so, you should think about taking a break and
doing some fast-paced physical activity to get your heart rate up and blood
pumping. Jogging will help clear your head and enable you to think more
rationally about decisions you need to make.

Libra [Sept. 23 – Oct. 23] – An emotional issue could be
rubbing you the wrong way, Libra. Your impulse is to escape. Try to do so in a
healthy manner. Go see a movie or read a book. Don’t fall prey to the
temptation to indulge in alcohol or food. This will only push the problems away
temporarily. When they resurface again, they may be even harder to handle.

Scorpio [Oct. 24 – Nov. 22] – Your artistic side wants to
take to the airwaves in some way, Scorpio. Perhaps you should consider building
a website or becoming a commentator on a local radio show. Your dreams need a
vehicle in order to reach their audience. Find the means. You have the ability
to inspire a many people. Take this ability seriously and make use of your
creative talents.

Sagittarius [Nov. 23 – Dec. 21] – It may be apparent that
what was so light and active yesterday is running into a few roadblocks today,
Sagittarius. You’re suddenly heading into a brick wall with some of the
projects you’ve been working on. Suddenly there’s a more reserved tone to
things and you may lose precious momentum. Use this time to back off and
reassess the wisdom of your direction.

Capricorn [Dec. 22 – Jan. 20] – The pace of things is
likely to slow compared to what it was yesterday, Capricorn. This is probably
best. Take this time to plan and stabilize. You’ve plowed, sown, and reaped the
fields. Now stop and assess what you’ve produced and decide what to do with it.
Take things one step at a time and don’t get ahead of yourself. Be patient and
things will naturally come your way.

Aquarius [Jan. 21 – Feb. 18] – There may be dreaminess
about your emotions today, Aquarius, which could keep you from focusing on the
task at hand. The aspects dictate that people may be stubborn and confused, and
you’re likely to be one of them. Your mind may seem to be going in two
different directions and you aren’t sure which way to proceed. Try to
incorporate more of your dreams into your waking reality.

Pisces [Feb. 19 – March 20] – Little voices whisper in
your ear and ask you to take flight and join them in the clouds, Pisces.
There’s tension between what your heart and mind tell you. They’re pulling you
in very different directions. Don’t be surprised if today’s energy leaves you
confused by sunset. Don’t stress about making hard decisions or commitments.

Aries [March 21 – April 20] – Something or someone may
prod you to take action today, Aries. It may be best if you beat them to it and
motivate yourself. Break away from the herd and go wherever you want to go.
It’s likely that you will run into conflict regarding an issue you feel
strongly about. People may be stubborn, so prepare for a stalemate rather than
any sort of resolution.

Taurus [April 21 – May 21] – You might experience a great
deal of emotional confusion, Taurus. There’s a debate brewing inside you, and
you’re having a hard time deciding whether to be practical or more fanciful.
Looking to others for help may only add to the problem, so take other people’s
advice with a grain of salt. If nothing seems clear, wait out the storm and
proceed when you have a better handle on the weather.

Gemini [May 22 – June 21] – It will be a challenge to keep your emotions on an even keel today, Gemini. Conflict may be brewing and you might fear it could get out of hand. Everything will work out. Don’t add to the pressure. The best solution is to escape into reverie and come back to Earth when the storm has passed. Don’t try to untangle the knots if they won’t give.
